Loving Lovely Floral for GDP153

Today I played along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP153.  This week's color challenge is a beautiful mix of Daffodil Delight , Flirty Flamingo and Soft Suede.  Have fun and play along too:
For this color challenge I used the stamp set called Love What You Do.  But the star of this card is the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder.
I created what almost looks like a 3D image of the flower with the Stampin' Blends and my Clear Wink of Stella.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me share the joy of stamping with you.  Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products I used for today's project:

Garden Impressions Project Ideas!

Today I made a bunch of fun cards using the Garden Impressions Design Series Paper.  I took my inspiration from the color palette in this paper stack.

These were fun and easy to make once I decided on the layout of the card and the ds paper that matched together.  I also used the In Color 2018–2020 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper for some of the background pieces as well.

Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products that were used for these projects:

Stitched All Around For #GDP152

Today I played along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP152 This week, we are CASEing a gorgeous project by the amazingly talented team member Janneke de Jong from the Netherlands.  CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

Remember that when you CASE a project you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set - the colors, the layout, the theme, the images - whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own.  Here is the project this week that you can CASE:
For this card I used the stamp set called Stitched All Around.  I took my inspiration from the colors of her card and the stamp set that she used and made a few specific changes for the person I had in mind for this card...my sister!  It will be her birthday on September 1 and can you guess that she loves purses and shoes?  Yep, she really does :)
I used a piece of Toil & Trouble design series paper from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  It matched the color gorgeous grape perfectly.  The purses and shoes are buttons that I found that worked great as fun add ons.  A few glitter dots and this turned out fabulous!
Thanks for stopping by and letting me share the joy of stamping with you.  Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products I used for today's project:

Alaska Achievers August Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us for our August Alaskan Achievers blog hop. Those hopping today are Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive trip. We will be hopping together once a month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin' Up!® products. I live in Minnesota in the US and would love to help you if you have any questions.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity or may have come from the person previous to me in the list.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the fun. At the moment you are visiting Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity.  Our hop theme in August is the 2018 Holiday Catalog and Alaska Trip Highlights.
These pictures are just a sample of the sights and beautiful country that we saw on the cruise to Alaska.  From Skagway Alaska to Victoria British Columbia we enjoyed awesome views and lovely weather.  
Stampin' Up! really pulled out all the stops with gifts, parties, food, and fun!  We also had an entire room set up with lovely new projects on display from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  I will forever be grateful for this wonderful experience :)
The projects that I am showcasing from the Holiday catalog are so pretty in person, that these photos just do not do them justice.  I adore card kits, they really give you a lot of bang for your buck and a lot of cards made in a relatively swift amount of time.  
These cards are from the Timeless Tidings Project Kit.  It makes 20 cards using the Timeless Tidings Stamp Set.  You can get kit refills as well, so I ended up making 40 Christmas Cards one afternoon, how awesome is that?
I love how fun and easy this beautiful Christmas card kit is.  There is also a tag kit in the Holiday catalog as well that looks like a lot of fun too :)

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss.  Remember that currently you are at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next.
